Can I make a cake with unbleached flour?

Unless you are making a vanilla cake that needs to look very white in appearance or a cake that needs to be exceptionally tender (like an angel food cake), you can use all-purpose bleached or unbleached flour for all of your cooking and baking needs, unless the recipe calls for a specialty flour.

Will bleached flour kill my starter?

When flour is bleached, the flour is exposed to chlorine gas. That gas does it's bleaching work, and then completely dissipates from the flour, so there is nothing left in the flour to kill either the yeast or the bacteria that make your sourdough starter live. So, no, it will not kill your starter.
